A trip back to California to get some medicinal pot might be called for.

What about making up protein smoothies and sipping throughout the day, if you can't face proper meals? Keeping up your protein intake will help you keep hold of your lean muscle mass. There are some really nice, clean products around. Here in UK we have Pulsin, Sun Warrior, Ezy and Nuzest - their chocolate flavours are delish! Zinc is often helpful in low appetite too, so maybe think about a supplement (though not sure if you're on any meds, so do check with your doc in case of interactions)

I will try this thank you for your reply it's so hard dealing with this it's like I have to adjust to being home all over again and it's way too much for me (anxiety)

Maybe you might consider whether you could benefit from anti-anxiety or antidepressant treatment? Keeping your weight and your strength up really is vital. I hope you find something that works.

EC's suggestion is a good one. Medicinal pot does not need to be smoked, nor does it have to have the feel-good factor. My husband takes it for pain in the form of pure CBD oil tincture under the tongue. (The cannabis has two components which can be separated into CBD and TCH). Before it was legal in our state we ordered it on line. It is legal for anyone to have the CBD oil as there is no hallucinatory factor. A reliable source is Mary's Medicinals. My daughter-in-law's mother takes it to boost her appetite following chemotherapy.
